Great to have you back at the lathe, Huw, if even on a limited basis. So very grateful for Jane's return to health. What a relief! Hope you continue to make good progress with your feet. Thanks!
Thank you so much Greg. I soon realised that it wasn't going to be a quick fix for my feet so have adapted to what I can do, which is aa little bit more every week. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Glad to hear your wife is doing well after all that. Also glad to know your feet are healing nicely too and your back is still doing well. Jennifer does amazing blanks. They turned out nice and go with those kits nicely. Amazing work as always.
Thanks Richard. I'm pleased thing are getting back to normal as well. I agree Jen's blanks are brilliant and turn and finish so nicely. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
My goodness, what an extraordinary odyssey you and Jane have had, you've certainly been through the wringer. Thank the Lord it has ended well. God bless you both - from the feet up. Cheers mate, good to see you back at the lathe.
Thank you Mark, It's certainly a period of my life I would not want to go through again. I can tell Jane is back to normal, she's nagging me again LOL. Take care my good friend. Cheers, Huw
I was so worried where the story was going with Jane! I'm so happy she's okay!!! And I'm glad you're going to be back to normal. 😊 Long road but do worth it. Take care both of you. Shout out to Jane. Thank you for sharing your creativity and your life with me. Vickie
Hi Vickie I was a really testing and worrying time for both of us. Even though they ruled out Cancer early on the medical team were still worried it was which is why they kept on testing. Even during the operation, which lasted 4 1/2 hours, they thought they had found some but once again tests came back negative thankfully. I really looking forward to life now returning to normal for us both. Thank you once again Vickie I really appreciate your support and kind thoughts. Cheers Huw
Thanks for wonderful update on Jane's health. i know it has been a rough road for the both of you. All my best to you both. Oh...nice looking pens! Cheers, Gary
Thank you Gary, Yes and it's not a road I would want to down down again. I really like the way the pens came out as well. Take care my friend. Hwyl, Huw
So glad to hear that Jane (and you) are on the mend!! And of course, the pens look great as always. The colors are beautiful! As for doing more regular videos… do what suits your situation the best. Yes, I would still watch any you make just like before. But don’t stress over it because your health (and your wife’s) don’t need extra problems. Cheers! Stuart
Thanks Stuart. I need to get a lot of pens turned so will probably just turn the camera on and record it rather than "Do a video" if you see what I mean. Take care my friend and thanks again. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Mark for your kind words, yes we are both doing well. I have another video out today where I turn the other sections of the blanks and compare them. I think they are nicer than these two. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Nice work Huw, you haven't lost your touch. And also, whew, so relieved after hearing the Jane's story; so happy for you both ! Your back ? Good to hear you've got your feet under that problem - hoping it stays well too. Finally, you are looking trim an healthy these days. Hwyl and do take care my friend. -Mike
Thanks Mike, HAHA. It is a great relief to have Jane recovering and doing well. Who would have thought that my back is fine and it's all caused by my feet. I do think I have lost some weight, probably due to having to do everything at home while Jane was ill. Every cloud as they say has a silver lining. Take care my friend. Hwyl, Huw
Glad the news is good Huw,your pen making/turning doesn't appear to have taken a turn for the worse. A couple of stunners there to prove it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
The blanks and the end results are beautiful. As usual a great video. Im am so happy to hear that both you and Jane are doing better. Great to see you back on the tube my friend.
Fantastic news regarding Jayne Huw, next thing you know she'll be tearing up the high street like a young gazelle. As always your pens are second to none and as always I've learned something new. I never thought about wetting normal sandpaper on resin, looked like no clogging of the paper. Take care my friend Conor
Diolch Conor, she is getting there. I can't honestly remember when I started wet sanding resin but it really works so well as it keeps the heat really low. Take care Conor my good friend. Hwyl, Huw
So good to see you back and even better to hear that Jane is now doing well. Hope your foot problems continue to improve. I fully agree that the longer you don't do something the harder it is to start again but I hope you will be able to put out a few more videos of your work. I love your pens but isn't acrylic messy!
Thanks Myk, It was a very worrying time indeed. The feet are improving. I'll be back out there today at some point as I need to make quite a few pens. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Wow beautiful pens Mate. Glad to hear that Jane is doing better now and things look like they are getting better. Take care mate and all the best to both of you and I hope for the best recovery scenarios for both of you Cheers Harold
Thanks Harold. We're really glad as well. It was a very tough time but it looks like that is behind us now. Thanks again my friend and I hope all is well with you and yours. Cheers, Huw
Glad to see you back at it Huw! Also happy to hear that Jane is doing well. Pens turned out fantastic. Amazing colour separation in them. Jenn is a true artist. Take care! Dana
Thanks Dana, Yes Jane is doing really well now. You are right, and I think I said in the video, Jen is an artist. I love turning her blanks. Take care my friend and thanks again. Cheers, Huw
These are excellent! So very well done. Great news that Jane is doing so much better and that you seem to be on the mend as well. Continued prayers for both of you.
Two cracking pens mate but more importantly, the news about Jane is marvelous and it looks like you both are on the up. Take care mate and best wishes to you both. Bram
First of all, great to see you back behind the lathe. (I still think the whole process is relaxing to watch). So good to see you "back on your feet" and hope that all setbacks are definitely resolved so you can chase your creativity. Health and happiness always comes first! All the best to you and your wife, from the Barbacena Backyard! (where everything goes slow.... but steady ahead) Greetings from the Alentjo, Gerrit.
Thank you Gerrit for you kind words. Thankfully most of the issues are resolved so it's just time now for Jane to get back to full strength and for my feet to continue to get to improve. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw PS We are coming to the Algarve in October for 2 weeks staying in Burgau
Hi Grahame, No problem, not quite 1st but I can live with that LOL. Glad you are keeping busy which means there will be videos yay!! Yes we must meet up. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
You've certainly been through it with everything. Keep fighting the fight my friend. Hopefully you'll continue to get better as will those around you. Take care my friend Mark
Some smart pens there Huw, don’t know how I’ve missed your latest vid’s must be the dodgy tube notification process 🙄. Like the alignment tool it’s now on my to get list. As you well know great news with Jane. Both of you keep well. Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve, No worries I know what you mean about YT. The alignment toll is only useful if you have a swivelling headstock. We are both doing well mate. Take care Steve. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Mark, they are really nice kits from Taylors Mirfield. I was hoping you were going to offer to come and help me with mine LOL. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Thank you so much Lawrence. The light at the end of the tunnel is certainly a lot stronger. I'm really happy with how the pens turned out. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Oh Huw, i never realised how serious things were when you eluded to Jane being ill in one of our messages. So glad things are sorted now. It'll probably feel good to get the Worksop straight and sorted. You never know what sort of blanks and kids you might find!!! Hint hint! 😂 All the best, Dave
Thanks Dave, Typical of Jane , didn't want to make a fuss about it. Yes it got very serious at one point, but as you said she is sorted now and getting back to full strength. I get the hint haha, hopefully I don't find any kids as the 2 we've got are enough LOL. Take care mate and thanks again. Cheers, Huw
good to see you back Huw, great news about Jane and about yourself. I know what you mean about loosing the imputous for videoing, illness can knock it out of you for a while. All the best to you both, take care my friend. (great pens by the way).
The alignment tool looks very useful - could you maybe show us it in use sometime so I can get the idea a bit better? You know I need everything explained in words of one syllable.
When you used the micromesh it really shows of the pattern of the resin. How much are the pads roughly? Great end product by the way, i really like the resin designs. Top work!!!
Thanks Andy, They work brilliantly and cost around £18 for a set of 9. I've known then used on headlights to get them clear again. Jen makes amazing blanks and I don't buy them from anywhere else. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Chris, It really wasn't a very nice period for us but as you say Jane is on the mend so looking forwards now to better times. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Good to see you back Huw. Thank you for the shout out. ❤️
Nice to be back Jen and thank you for such amazing blanks to work with.
